The reason, why hydrogen bomb has so little fallout

The reason, why hydrogen bomb has so little fallout

The reason why this particular piece of nuclear technology causes so little radioactive fallout in the near of "ground zero" is that the rise of the fireball is so fast, that space, what is caused by the fast-rising piece of gas is pulling the dust and other material to the higher atmosphere with very high speed. The effect is similar to hover, the rise of the fireball just delivers the nuclear fallout to a very large area. And that means that the nuclear weapon itself is not so "clean". The "Tsar bomb" (1) was the "multi-stage" FFF (Fission Fusion Fission) weapon, where the fusion fuel was closed between the two layers of fissile material. 

This means that in the explosive capsule is at least two layers of Uranium 238 or natural uranium, and when the primary shot or normal fission weapon sends the radiation burst to those layers, the Uranium starts to turn to Plutonium, and the fission would press the fusion material to gather very hard. This will increase the power of the unit. That kind of weapon is creating pollution very much, but the high temperature causes that those radioactive particles will fly to the upper atmosphere. And nuclear waste is the main reason, why those tests ended in the atmosphere. 

The mystery of operation "Emery"

But after the ban of the atmospheric nuclear tests, the tests have made underground complexes. That means that pollution should not rise to the atmosphere. There have been made nuclear tests, where is happened accidents and mistakes. On December 18, 1970, something went wrong with "Operation Emery". Test "Baneberry"(2) caused huge radioactive fallout because that 10 kilotons nuclear warhead detonated too close of the surface. The depth of the shot was 950 feet (289.56 m)(3), and that was a little bit too close to the surface, and it was throwing the radioactive sand to the higher atmosphere. The cleaning that area took about 6 months, and there were questions, why the test team made that kind of mistake. 

The nuclear device was dug too close of surface, and the question was should that test be contain something, what is called a miniature nuclear weapon, or portable nuclear weapon. But the warhead was a switch, and the result was a disaster. If the size of the weapon could be only one kiloton, that depth could be enough. So were their errors in the nuclear test team papers? Or was "Baneberry" some kind of X-ray laser test?

In those tests, the nuclear weapon is used to create a high-power laser ray, and in some cases, there is a hole in the ground at the position of that device. This hole is made because the laser-ray must get a free route to the atmosphere, and if the structure is made wrong, that can cause the radioactive leak. So was this cause the "Baneberry " waste? That case caused claims about the deliberating break of the contract, which denies the atmospheric nuclear test.

Why Russian military exercises are in Baltic sea, but its interests are in the arctic area?

Why Russian military exercises are in Baltic sea, but its interests are in the arctic area?

There is one answer to that question and that is the Baltic sea is more suitable for training area than Barents sea, because water is not so deep in the Baltic sea, and the area is smaller. If submarine would hit to the bottom of the sea, the crew is easier to rescue than in the deep sea areas.

Also, the ships and other vessels are finding each other easier in the Baltic sea, but there is one thing, what would raise the value of Baltic sea in the eyes of Kremlin. That is publicity. Every single movement, what those troops make can be confirmed from the neutral states, and leaders of Russia hopes that those orgulous military exercises with highly trained troops would help Russia in their political purposes in the internal politics of those countries.

And also the Russian headquarters hopes that the psychological effect would shut the mouths of the persons, who are supporting the foreign policy, what Russians think as hostile. The message what Russian military wants to give is that every hostile action against Russia would be responded with force. One thing, what is the goal of the Russian political control is that the freedom of speech against the leaders of Russia must be stopped. 

The actions, what Kremlin has made against political opposition are not things, what it wants to show to western- or any media. In those cases, the best thing, what those leaders would hope, is that people would be silent about arresting. And the answer, what Kremlin leaders would give to people is that they got food and circus pleasures. Normal people would not need to take part in politics, because the decisions are made by using information, what is not public. And that supports the power of Putin and his closest men.

When we are thinking about the military exercises in the Baltic sea, that place would be better to flight camera crews above the air cushion vehicles and highly trained special forces. Another thing, what is meant for supporting people, who are conforming the politics of Kremlin are high-yield thermonuclear weapons, what mission is to give an excuse to follow the rules of Kremlin.

And if those weapons would be used the destruction area would be thousands of kilometers. If Kremlin decides to use 60 megatons nuclear weapons would destroy entire Europe if they are dropped to Berlin. The 50 megatons "Tsar" bomb created the pressure wave, what traveled three times around the world when it was detonated in above Novaya-Zemlya in the 30 October  1963. This device is the highest power thermonuclear device, which has ever detonated in the atmosphere. And the same yield warheads have been installed in the Russian SS-18 "Satan" missiles. Those missiles are the biggest nuclear missiles, which is in service in any country.
